Sparrow is a great name - I DO love it and it is similiar to my own naming style BUT I have to tell you it screams NicoleRitchie...just FYI in case you didn't know.

My only concern is - will she like it? Sparrow is a name she would either love or hate - there's no middle ground. It's a big gamble. If think the pros outweigh the cons, then I'd name her SparrowElizabeth. If you have concern she may not like being named Sparrow - I'm thinking of how much she'll want to fit in with her peers as a child and a teenager, and I'm thinking about her walking into job interviews - then I'd name her ElizabethSparrow, and call her Sparrow as a nickname.

I hear the sentiment, and your difficulty conceiving certainly exacerbates the need for a name that is very meaningful and especially loved by you.

Now the name itself, Sparrow, isn't my taste. It's not a lovely bird - to me it's dark and drab, like Blade suggested. If you really love it, I'd use it as a middle. You can call her Sparrow if you want, but she'll have something more classic and mature to fall back on if she prefers it.

I think Sparrow should only be in the middle name spot. It makes me roll my eyes a bit to see that as an option as a first name. Elizabeth and Ingrid are so much nicer, prettier, feminine, and most importantly, useable than Sparrow.
